I'm not perfect
I'm not number one at everything I do
I think I'm good enough anyways
Who are you comparing me to?

When you say I'm bad at this
Or I need more improvement (times two)
Can't you stop and think
That for me, it's probably the best I could do?

I'm not perfect
I'm not number one at everything I do
Just know that I'm not the person
You're comparing me to
